Set to star in the forthcoming films Hunger Games and The Expendables 2, Liam Hemsworth is is definitely trending upward but how does he feel about losing Thor to big brother, Chris?

The March issue of GQ Magazine profiles Liam Hemsworth, younger brother of Thor titular actor Chris Hemsworth, a role that the brothers were both up for. Here's what Liam has to say about losing out to big brother:

On Chris landing the role of Thor:

HEMSWORTH: “Look, Chris is six-and-a-half years older than me so there’s this thing where if I’d got Thor, that would have been weird. The way I look at this is, better Chris than someone else. Believe me, Chris and I spent most of our lives beating each other up. At this point, we’re just happy not to be fist-fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat.”

Must have been interesting, to say the least, to be competing against your own brother for the lead role in a major motion picture. I believe Liam is stating that with Chris being so much older, he's used to losing when they compete so he didn't really get wrapped up in the loss. Also, that if he was going to lose out on the role, at least it was to his big brother. Still, things worked out in the end for Liam, he's starring in the Hunger Games, a film that will likely gross similar numbers to Twilight, which would be a lot more than Thor.

Nooo! Im glad that his older brother got the role (well, I thought Alexander skarsgard could do it too, but chris is good too)But lliam is too young, and I dont think that he could do a good Thor compaired to his brother. But he got a good role too, looking forward to hunger games!

What's your point?! TWILIGHT was a MONSTER at the box office, regardless of whether or not you liked it....HUNGER GAMES will be a MONSTER at the box office...again, regardless of whether or not YOU like it.

I am thinking Beta Ray Bill for Liam. Same build type for brothers. Balder should have been introduced in the first movie as a member of the family. Beta Ray Bill is the way to go. Motion capture tech for his head and get to work.

Liam's got a kid's face. No beard can hide that. The only heroes he could play are younger ones like Johnny Storm, maybe Danny Rand. Chris is just ideal for Thor. He's got the chiseled face/build, the lower voice and has got way more natural stage presence than Liam.

Chris has more of the Thor look so I'm glad he got the role, but I'm sure Liam will do well for himself. He's in the Hunger Games, so I think that will be a successful 3 movie franchise that will raise his status.

Read that GQ article. Liam's btothers aparently padded him up and shot him with BB guns for fun...lol I mainly admire Liam for 'taking one for the team' and squiring Miley Cyrus.Yes,you read that correctly. He's all over Hanna Montana...

Score a win for the older bro's of the world! Gotta keep those those younger sibs in check! The second they get the upper hand for the first time the little brats start to stop fearing the swirlys and atomic wedgies, then it's all F'd from there!
